BA Grade: 45/Extreme
Track Record: A 2020 signee out of the Dominican Republic, Santa transformed from a skinny righthander sitting 88-91 mph, to a power pitcher up to 98 mph this spring. He was assigned to Low-A Fayetteville out of camp but was injured in his first appearance of the season. Scouting Report: Armed with a powerful one-two punch in his mid-90s fastball and high-spin breaking ball Santa can overpower lower levels hitters for stretches when he's locked in. His fastball sits 94-95 mph touching 98 mph with late giddy-up as it reaches the plate. He commands his fastball well, living around the zone. While his breaking ball lags behind in this regard, showing inconsistent feel and shape, often landing as an easy take for opposing batters. He's added a slider over the winter and it looks to be an improved look from his slower high-spin curveball. He'll flash a mid-80s changeup but lacks feel for the pitch, struggling to land it in the zone. The Future: There's a lot of projection in Santa's quick right arm with a big time fastball but inconsistent feel for his secondaries Santa is a high variance prospect but one with time on his side at just 19 years old.
